Treehouse StaffHey David Burroughs š
You'll want to be using querySelectorAll for this challenge š With the getElementsByTagName
you can only target elements with a specific tag. Using the querySelector
/ querySelectorAll
you can use CSS selectors like the descendant selector to target your DOM elements.
I hope this helps you going again! š
